Okay, I just have to step in here...

As the original poster of the message concerning the allusion to the play
_Rhinoceros_ by Eugene Ionesco, I admit, I wasn't being quite Sirius -
er, serious. It was just a thought that popped into my head. Believe me,
I am very much against reading too much into stories. I read somewhere
that a Harvard professor told his students to write in depth about the
meanings of Vonnegut's (sp?) _Slaughterhouse Five_ - and when one of his
students submitted a paper stating that Vonnegut sent him an actual letter
stating that he was just writing a story, the professor gave him an 'F'
and said "He doesn't know what he's saying".

I have a tendency to post silly posts (Neil can corroborate with
this statement, I believe), and I thought that I was doing so this
morning. However, I reserve the right to do this, and I don't really
appreciate you resorting to calling names. Though you may have graduated
college "several years ago", it seems to me that you're also a bit
childish in this regard - which is fine, because as we all know in THIS
group especially, a little child in us is a good thing.

Overboard Jen.

Ps. Anyone else *really* like that cheesy movie _Overboard_ with Goldie
Hawn and Kurt Russel?

(yes, another OT post. Hehehe)
